One bathroom with bath, two bathrooms with showers plus further separate toilet. Fantastic large private heated indoor swimming pool plus games room with pool table, table football, table tennis and air hockey. The swimming pool is exclusively for the use of guests in the property and is heated all year round. There’s a wood burning stove in the lounge for those cosy family nights in. Plus a further snug lounge for a bit of peace and quiet. Set in the idyllic hamlet of Stoke this cottage has it all. It’s incredibly peaceful and quiet but only a short distance to local amenities. There's a beach, pub and church within 1 mile and Hartland village for shops, pubs, potteries, cafe just 2 miles away. Beautiful countryside views, plenty of peace and quiet. A great venue for a family getaway. We are very lucky to have a friend who is an amazing chef and will come to the cottage and cook for you.

Why they chose this property
Orchard Cottage is perfect for the family holiday. You pool to keep the children amused, the games room if they’re a bit wrinkly from the water and the garden to relax in. Having the downstairs double bedroom makes it perfect for all ages and having a second lounge means the kids can be gaming in one room while the adults watch tv or chat over a meal in the other room. It’s charming, perfectly located and versatile. Many of our guests have been coming for over 10 years. Once you find Hartland, there is a certain charm about it that keeps you coming back.
